Purpose
In the present study, we aimed to determine the relationship of HV angle with angles and measurements obtained from lateral and anteroposterior (AP) radiological images of the foot in individuals with HV.
Methods
The present study had a retrospective design, and the participants consisted of 66 female patients between the ages of 19 and 64 who applied to Orthopedics and Traumatology and were diagnosed with Hallux valgus. Metatarsus adductus angle, metatarsus primus adductus angle, hallux valgus angle, hallux interphalangeal angle, metatarsal break angle, first metatarsal protrusion distance, metatarsal width, talocalcaneal angle, AP Meary’s angle were measured on AP view and calcaneal inclination angle, talar declination angle, lateral talocalcaneal angle, first metatarsal declination angle, fifth metatarsal declination angle, navicular height, lateral Meary’s angle, tibiotalar angle were measured on a lateral radiograph. The IBM SPSS 21.0. program was used for statistical analysis, and the level of significance was taken as p < 0.05.
Results
There were statistically significant differences between the right and left feet in MPA and AMA measurements. The results showed that HV angle (HVA) had a weak relationship with MAA and MW, as well as a moderately positive relationship with MPA. However, it had a moderately negative relationship with AMA and a weak negative relationship with HIPA.
Conclusion
We believe that in addition to the HVA angle, MPA and AMA angles should be considered in the diagnosis of HV, especially as the HVA angle is moderately positively correlated with the MPA angle and moderately negatively correlated with the AMA angle.
